The Puppet Show
May 24 to August 9

Southern California is home to an abundance of artists at the forefront of experimental and avant-garde puppetry. The extraordinary site-specific programming offered during The Puppet Show breaks the exhibition “fourth wall,” revealing the vitality and variety of contemporary puppet-inspired art in the immediate community.

Some pieces involve puppets as figures—marionettes, shadow puppets, and ventriloquist dummies—others involve artists as puppeteers. The exhibition also explores manipulation, miniaturization, and control, topics often associated with puppetry.

The participating artists are: Annette Messager, Paul McCarthy, Laurie Simmons, Kiki Smith, Kara Walker, Andy Warhol
